Hey Guys,

It's been awhile since I posted last. I made a trip to the AD last Tuesday, and asked a favor, " Can you look into getting a BB Blacksteel SE?" I realy wasn't looking to hear anything, but was I ever surprised when he called three days later reporting that had something for me to see. Well "something" doesn't mean much knowing my joker AD.

Well, I dropped by to see what he had for me to see, and BEHOLD, there is a GOD! There on the counter sat #259/2000. I was awestruck, this thing is awesome. There was no question - It was mine!

Here are some first efforts, please excuse the picture quality.

Thanks, MSRP is $7439.00, and the ADs I know aren't coming off at all. They reported 500 of 2000 for US market.

First "in the wild" shots of the BSBBSE. The DLC always looks different when it's not in print.

Very nice. I enjoy seeing Blackbirds on straps too.

Truly form the Ernie Banks school of "let's play two."

Very nice! Nothing exceeds like excess. My motto!

Congrats! That's the best looking blacksteel in my opinion. Wear them both in good health.

Those are smart-looking watches. The subdial hands on those are lumed, right?

Sharkman - you need one of those!! But you should sell your Blackeye Blue first.... to me!

Great looking watch. Enjoy it.

i agree 100% this one is by far the most beautifull black steel available and probably the best 2010 suprise from Breitling

this version adds more stealth look for the watch that is based on a stealth plane...i think it fits the model like a glove

please take decent pictures to this wonderfull watch :lingsrock:

IMHO this is the one watch where the BlackSteel concept works best. If I didn't know the "normal" Blackbird, I could believe this is how the Blackbird was designed to look in the first place. Wear it in good health! :cheer:

Thanks, I had the same thought, I wonder if they make the polished one BEB, with bracelet? I haven't tried the config yet, thing I'll give it whirl.
